Boiler repairs we handle

If your boiler is playing up or has stopped working, we can diagnose and repair most issues on the same visit. Common repairs include:

Repair costs start from £85 callout plus labour. Most repairs are completed within 2 hours. We carry common parts on the van and can source specialist parts same-day or next-day.

Why service your boiler annually?

Safety

A faulty boiler can leak carbon monoxide, which is deadly and has no smell. Annual servicing checks all safety systems are working.

Warranty requirement

Most boiler warranties require annual servicing by a Gas Safe engineer. Skip a service and your warranty may become invalid.

Efficiency

A serviced boiler runs more efficiently, using less gas. This can save £100+ per year on energy bills.

Reliability

Regular servicing catches small problems before they become expensive breakdowns. Reduces the risk of no heating in winter.

Longer lifespan

A well-maintained boiler lasts 12-15 years. Neglected boilers often fail after 8-10 years.

Landlord requirement

If you rent out a property, you must have the gas boiler serviced every 12 months by law and provide tenants with a Gas Safety Certificate.
